My company, Skyco Equipment, Inc., We are the #1 supplier of premium-quality new & reconditioned bucket trucks, forestry trucks, one-tons, digger trucks, cranes, pressure diggers, grapple loaders, and chippers to the utility, telecommunications, sign and lighting, and tree care industries.

Take Care!

Geoff

I jumped on your site but didn't see any gear?

However I think I spotted something that many people might like.

Lopa, check this page out.

SKYCO Equipment - Worldwide Exports

Geoff, we have an advertising thread that's pretty cheap to run an ad in, if you get hold of some stuff you thinks for tree guys run it there. Also if you get some topical stuff chuck it in.

Please note, here's the thread about it.

Advertising on Tree World

If you would like to carry sig links that give your site some benefit you need also read that.

Welcome

Ace Master · 2nd November 2007, 10:32 AM

You would have to bring it up to Australia standards to use it over here.Need to check out the requirments because we have brought tower form Terex the importer had to change things

2nd November 2007, 07:09 PM

Hey Everyone.
Great site, and a great job Ekka. Look forward to being a part of the tree community.
Regards

Brian

Eric Frei · 2nd November 2007, 09:06 PM

Hi Brian

Good to see you made it here.

What a coincidental world we live in, Brian runs a Kanga Terminator grinder like me and we have had chats about their short comings and mods for them.

Here's some threads for ya Brian

http://www.treeworld.info/f18/mini-s...nder-1070.html

Kanga Terminator Stump Grinder modifications

Which Mini Skid?

Oh, and if you wonder why links get worded like that ... it's the software which does it automatically but you can over ride it.

gk1024 · 3rd November 2007, 02:36 AM

Ekka,
I am talking with the marketing/adv department about allocating funds (thanks for the info). I don't see it being an issue, but need to see where we're at. We are currently in the process of adding an on-line store for climbing gear & accessories. It is going to go in the same drop down as the parts. I will be in touch regarding adv. Again, great job on the site!

Ace Master - we try to stay as up-to-date as possible on import/exporting rules & regs, however, we do work with a third party to assure we abide by all international shipping laws. Makes for a lot easier transfer.

Eric Frei · 3rd November 2007, 08:24 AM

I'm thinking if you buy USA and ship, even 2nd hand, that's gotta be a better deal for us with the AUD $ so good.

TOMANGE · 4th November 2007, 03:07 AM

hi everyone from tom and angela, it looks like you have just gained 2 new

members, we have just adopted an orange a tangarine and a lemon tree in portugal and will be grateful for any tips which will enhance there wellbeing.
we must point out that at the moment we will not be able to give any input what so ever as we know zilch about trees.

bye for now

Eric Frei · 4th November 2007, 07:09 AM

Hi Tom and Angela

That's part of the beauty of the site ... it's also designed to help people like yourselves out with your own trees.

We do have others here from Portugal, seems to be a popular place for citrus trees.

Welcome.

Hi guys

Dont be shy.

Nice Daryl, you know, that's the first time I actually went to the forums own help area! lol

Please, ask questions and post YOUR opinions.

Right now there's a thread running on pruning with spikes (hooks, spurs, gaffs etc), some opinion there. I haven't voted as I do spur climb cocos palms for cleaning. Also some have told me (off the record) that when faced with 120' climb to the first limb on some mutha huge tree that has 3/4" thick bark then they spur.

It's like the one handing thing, I assure you 99% of people have done it, do it, or will do it at some time or other.

Anyway, good to see you guys here.
